Step-by-step solution

9 steps

:

  1. Identify the given values and the formula for weight.

    The weight of the rock (WW) is 1.6 N1.6 \text{ N}.
    The gravitational field strength (gg) on the moon is 1.6 N/kg1.6 \text{ N/kg}.
    The formula relating weight, mass, and gravitational field strength is:

    W=m×gW = m \times g

    where mm is the mass.

  2. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass and substitute the values.

    To find the mass (mm), we rearrange the formula:

    m=Wgm = \frac{W}{g}

    Substitute the given values:

    m=1.6 N1.6 N/kgm = \frac{1.6 \text{ N}}{1.6 \text{ N/kg}} m=1 kgm = 1 \text{ kg}

    The mass of the rock is 1 kg\boxed{\text{1 kg}}.

  3. Calculate the total cost price (CP) of the books.

    Mwanahawa buys 400 books for $5600.

    Total CP=5600\text{Total CP} = 5600
  4. Calculate the revenue from the first batch of books.

    She sells 200 books at $240 each.

    Revenue from 1st batch=200×240=48000\text{Revenue from 1st batch} = 200 \times 240 = 48000
  5. Calculate the revenue from the second batch of books.

    She sells 140 books at $160 each.

    Revenue from 2nd batch=140×160=22400\text{Revenue from 2nd batch} = 140 \times 160 = 22400
  6. Calculate the number of remaining books and their revenue.

    Remaining books = Total books - Books sold in 1st batch - Books sold in 2nd batch

    Remaining books=400−200−140=60\text{Remaining books} = 400 - 200 - 140 = 60

    She sells the remaining 60 books at $55 each.

    Revenue from remaining books=60×55=3300\text{Revenue from remaining books} = 60 \times 55 = 3300
  7. Calculate the total selling price (SP).

    Total SP=Revenue from 1st batch+Revenue from 2nd batch+Revenue from remaining books\text{Total SP} = \text{Revenue from 1st batch} + \text{Revenue from 2nd batch} + \text{Revenue from remaining books} Total SP=48000+22400+3300=73700\text{Total SP} = 48000 + 22400 + 3300 = 73700
  8. Calculate the profit.

    Profit=Total SP−Total CP\text{Profit} = \text{Total SP} - \text{Total CP} Profit=73700−5600=68100\text{Profit} = 73700 - 5600 = 68100
  9. Calculate the percentage profit.

    Percentage Profit=ProfitTotal CP×100%\text{Percentage Profit} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Total CP}} \times 100\% Percentage Profit=681005600×100%\text{Percentage Profit} = \frac{68100}{5600} \times 100\% Percentage Profit=12.160714...×100%\text{Percentage Profit} = 12.160714... \times 100\% Percentage Profit≈1216.07%\text{Percentage Profit} \approx 1216.07\%

    Mwanahawa's percentage profit is approximately \boxed{\text{1216.07%}}.
